As tempting it may be, I'm not particularly fond of the MB shape. Much more in to the MA body. But I doubt they'll be making a sparkly red one anytime soon. Also, I kind of fancy a 7 string, hence building my own might be the way to go.

The treadle is calibrated correctly and works as it should without the MIDI controller.
I have a feeling it something to do with the Ribbon strip itself. If I touch it to the far right it's one octave up and to the far left its at the correct/normal pitch. But when I release it, it's in the middle somewhere.

So just had a raz on using a Whammy pedal with my Midi ribbon controller.
It seems it's default state (when you don't touch the bugger) is somewhere in the middle. Well, 4 semitones above an "off" state.
Any idea how to adjust this?
